    Bosch Maxx 7 WAE2047KPL / 02 washing machine - takes little water
    I need a professional or a madman who will repair (or break) my washing machine: Bosch Maxh 7 for Kids - serial number WAE2047KPL / 02 FD 8908 600369. The washing machine is a few years old and nothing is physically wrong and does not break down, but it has one major drawback - takes too little water.

    Yes, the washing machine washes, but in the image of water, and I want it to wash in water. The wife is allergic and must have the laundry thoroughly washed and rinsed. This washing machine does not have a hydrostat (like older washing machines), so the water level cannot be adjusted normally. The service claims that new washing machines are like that because there is a general tendency that they are super ECO etc. etc., so they take little water (the service gave up).

    So I need a professional who will increase the water level in the washing machine (generally by about 30 - 40%). The washing machine after the warranty period, it can even be broken for this purpose or reprogrammed, if someone can. I'll pay and add something else.

    Put the clothes soaked in water, i.e. wet, and there will be more water in the washing machine.

    Hello. An interesting problem ...
    Found a description for this washing machine.
    "The automatic weight system of the washing machine optimizes water and energy consumption depending on the size of the load. The system recognizes the size of the load and adjusts the washing time accordingly. Thanks to the system, washing with less load takes less time, uses less water and is less energy-consuming."
    and
    "In order to very thoroughly rinse the leftover detergent from the washed clothes, the WAE2049KPL washing machine is equipped with the Extra Kids Rinse option. In this option, the washing machine uses an additional 2 liters of rinsing water. This option is very useful when washing children's clothes, people with allergies or people with sensitive skin . "

    I suspect that it takes not two extra liters but kilograms.
    (for water it is the same)

    Added after 14 [minutes]:

    Knowing life, this "weight" is a potentiometer controlled by a lever attached to the washing machine drum. If you turn it a little in the right direction or add a few ohms in a row, it would increase the weight and "pour" more water. Well, but I admit that I shoot.

    We use the additional rinsing option - but the wife stops the program best anyway and adds her proper amount of water for the main wash and for rinsing separately. :(

    Colleagues according to North, this washing machine has a hydrostat, unfortunately not regulated

    To check, the hydrostatic cup and the hose are not contaminated. Possible adjustment of the water level by increasing the air chamber (adding an experimental size of the container between the hose and the hydrostat).

    I will check the cup and hose, but the washing machine has been new and the service checked it and it turned out that everything is ok. :)

    Hello
    Listen, mate jure59 is good for you. Don't mix anything with electronics. Extend the hose from the hydrostat or give a small transitional bulb

    He will play with this hose or some kind of transitional bulb - it seems the simplest :)

    The pressure switch is electronic and there is no need to combine it with dismantling, because if you tightened the spring, it would pour more, but an error will appear when emptying the tank.
    You can reduce the capacity of the hydrostatic cup, e.g. by inserting something into it, reducing its capacity, you can try inserting a thick hose.
    The second option is to increase the capacity of the hose, e.g. by cutting it off at the hydrostatic and the hydrostatic cup and connect it with a hose with a larger diameter, so that the inner diameter matches the outer diameter of the original hose, or it would look like there will be a hydrostat on it with a piece of the old hose and on it the new, thicker tubing may be even longer than the original one, it will also increase its capacity.

    I add water to each wash, sometimes 1/3 of the window. Once I forgot to turn off the water and the washing machine was washing in 3/4 of the drums of water and also could do the trick. Sometimes on the short 30 program it does not spin the water, but it was like that since the news. I have one without an LCD screen with touch buttons. Maxx7. I pour water normally from the top. This is probably the best option. Mine has a water plus aleto button and it doesn't do anything anyway. Eco for the environment and harmful to human skin because chemicals stuck in clothes, you sweat and you have allergic reactions. The old frania may turn out to be the healthiest as the years go by.

Topic summary

✨ The Bosch Maxx 7 WAE2047KPL washing machine is reported to use insufficient water during cycles, which is problematic for users with allergies requiring thorough cleaning. The machine features an automatic weight system that optimizes water usage based on load size, but this has led to dissatisfaction due to inadequate rinsing. Suggestions for increasing water levels include soaking clothes before washing, utilizing the Extra Kids Rinse option, manually adding water through the detergent tray, or modifying the hydrostatic system. Some users recommend adjusting the hydrostatic cup or hose to enhance water intake, while others suggest adding a relay to bypass the solenoid valve for direct water flow. Overall, the discussion highlights the challenges of modern eco-friendly washing machines in meeting specific user needs for water usage.

FAQ

TL;DR: Bosch Maxx 7 WAE2047KPL can add “an additional 2 liters” using Extra/Kids Rinse; users seek higher levels for allergy-grade rinsing. “The washing machine uses an additional 2 liters.” [Elektroda, Pedros050, post #16704143]

Why it matters: If your loads aren’t submerged enough, you can tweak the hydrostat path or add water safely for better rinsing, especially for sensitive skin.

Quick Facts

Why does my Bosch Maxx 7 take so little water?

This model optimizes water for energy efficiency, so fills are intentionally low. Owners report adequate washing but poor submersion for allergy needs. The behavior is normal and confirmed by user experience and service visits. Add-on rinses or controlled modifications can raise levels when needed. [Elektroda, czp01, post #16704098]

Does the WAE2047KPL actually have a hydrostat/pressure switch?

Yes. The model uses a hydrostat (pressure switch) even if it lacks an external adjustment screw. Parts listings and owner guidance confirm its presence, though factory settings are fixed. [Elektroda, jurek54, post #16704993]

What does Extra/Kids Rinse do and how much water does it add?

Extra/Kids Rinse increases rinse water by about 2 liters to help remove detergent residue. It targets sensitive skin and allergy use cases. As one user noted, “the washing machine uses an additional 2 liters of rinsing water.” [Elektroda, Pedros050, post #16704143]

How can I safely add more water manually?

Pour clean water through the detergent tray during wash or rinse. Stop well before mid-drum height to prevent overflow or imbalance. This manual top-up method is simple and widely used by owners for heavier rinses. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #16704922]

How do I increase the water level by modifying the hydrostat path?

You can change the sensed pressure by altering the air volume. Increase hose capacity or reduce the hydrostatic cup volume so the switch triggers later, allowing more water. Keep changes reversible and test with small loads first. [Elektroda, bse-bse, post #16708848]

3-step How-To: Raise water level via hose/cup capacity change

  1. Power off and access the hydrostat hose and cup.
  2. Fit a short section of larger-ID hose in-line or insert a spacer in the cup to reduce its volume.
  3. Reassemble, run a short cycle, and observe fill and drain behavior. [Elektroda, bse-bse, post #16708848]

What is a hydrostat in a washing machine?

A hydrostat (pressure switch) senses tub water level using air pressure in a hose connected to an air chamber. When pressure reaches a threshold, it signals the control to stop filling. Electronic versions lack user screws but respond to hose/cup volume changes. [Elektroda, jurek54, post #16704993]

Will tightening springs or deep electronic tweaks cause errors?

Yes. Over-tightening or forcing the electronic pressure switch can cause faults during draining. The controller expects certain pressure profiles. If levels are too high, it may flag an error while emptying the tank. [Elektroda, bse-bse, post #16708848]

Does loading wet clothes make the washer take more water?

Yes. Pre-wetting increases sensed load, so the machine may admit more water. Users suggest starting with clothes soaked in water to gain extra fill volume without electronic changes. [Elektroda, janek5555, post #16704139]

Is pausing the cycle to add water a workable routine for allergies?

Yes. Some owners pause both wash and rinse stages to add water for deeper submersion. This approach improves detergent removal when default eco fills are too low for sensitive skin. [Elektroda, czp01, post #16704250]

My Water Plus button seems ineffective—normal?

Users report minimal change from Water Plus on some Maxx 7 variants. One owner adds water every wash and still sees limited difference, calling the button ineffective for their loads. [Elektroda, neboo, post #17318278]

Can I wire a relay to power the inlet valve directly for extra fill?

It’s possible but risky. A bell switch and 230V AC relay can power the valve while isolating the programmer. However, the controller may detect disconnection as a fault. Proceed only if you understand mains safety. [Elektroda, 65469, post #16705265]

Should I check the hydrostatic hose or cup for clogging first?

Yes. Inspect and clean the hydrostatic cup and the connecting hose before modifications. Restrictions distort pressure readings and can lower fill levels or cause erratic behavior. [Elektroda, jurek54, post #16704993]

How much is too much when manually filling?

Keep below mid-drum to avoid overflows and spin issues. One user even washed at about three-quarters full and completed the cycle, but this is not recommended as routine practice. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #16704922]

Any real-world outcomes or edge cases from owners?

Yes. A user adds about one-third of the window height per wash and once ran at roughly three-quarters drum water. Another observed the short 30-minute program sometimes skipped spinning. These show benefits and oddities. [Elektroda, neboo, post #17318278]
